Why aren't big online publishers more concerned about the junk that the ad networks are attaching onto their sites?
If an expert like Google can't even ensure that ads don't auto play or include sound effects, what hope is there that they can protect against malware and other dangerous content leaking in?
- jonknee 11y agoIt's a concern, but it also pays the bills. You can easily concern yourself out of business.

They are concerned, but there is basically nothing they can do about it if they want to continue to earn money.
- frik 11y agoGoogle would have the power to blacklist bad players. And the should really do something about it. Bad ads drive people to using adblockers.
- rwallace 11y agoWhat changed? Many years ago, ads were very bad. Then Google got into the business and enforced clean, tasteful ads and things were good for quite some time. But then they started deteriorating again, worse every year until I finally installed adblock early this year. Did something cause the power balance to swing back away from Google or something? If so, what?
